Hi and Congrats!!

Most of us have already posted an intro here: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...d.php?t=240132

[leahdbc]

I know, I posted mine there too as well. Greensleeves asked that we not continue that thread as she began it and has, unfortunately, lost her little one. I was trying to help out my getting another thread going so hers doesn't continue to send her notices.

I'm pg with baby #2 and due October 4, 2005. I had a miscarriage back in November so am having a lot of anxiety about this pregnancy and wish I could just enjoy it in the blissful way I did my first pregnancy.

We have a son born May 2002.

I'm very glad to be here, we've been trying for 9 months now.

Congrats to all the other mommies!

Welcome Serenity! wishing you a beautiful pregnancy

Hello again everyone! My husband and I are 33 and 39, respectively, and we got pregnant our very first try after 5 1/2 years of marriage. We're still a little bit in shock - we were prepared to try for a year! So far I'm feeling very pregnant - went to bed at 5:00 tonight, got up to eat a snack (and of course post on MDC ) and am about to go back to bed! We'll be five weeks on Friday, so it's still very early for us - we haven't even told our parents yet. Secretly, though, I have a good feeling about our little Libra baby.

I've known for two days now that we are expecting our 3rd. My cycle is extremely sporadic, but we guess early Oct. I will have a U/S on the 23rd to check things out.

We do not wish to know the gender of this child, as we have one boy (4-00) and one girl (12-02) so it doesn't "matter" in terms of getting the proper gear together.

We are very excited, particularly about trying out hypnobirthing!

I am pregnant with #3 due 10/9/05 I tested on Saturday with a faint positive and then Monday with a BFP!

Hi Kristi Good to see you over here too! I post with you over at Ovusoft.

Hi there,
I am pretty sure that I'm in the October group. I never had a period after my son was born, so there's a little bit of guesswork involved until the doctor's visit. This will be #2 for me. Best wishes to everyone for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Congratulations Kristi, P-chan and KermitMissesJim - its nice to see more and more mamas show up here

[Snicwix]

Hi, I am Sarah. I found out last Thursday, and my approx due date is 10/3. I have a 22 month old son, named Noah, as well. So far, this pregnancy is starting different than the previous one. Sickness seems to be coming on quicker.

[Blissful Mama]

Hello October mamas! I have just found out today (wow!) that I am pregnant with our second (Daughter Rhiannon born July 2, 2003) and we have not told anyone yet but are absolutely thrilled. I am 37 and my husband is 31 and I finally joined after referencing here - you guys make me feel so normal with your parenting outlooks. Sometimes suburbia is less than understanding of attachment parenting so I was very happy when a friend put me onto you! I would love to hear fom anyone who feels as I do - happy but a teeny bit scared with the age thing and juggling a toddler (19 months) and trying to get focused on the new little sprog!
Happy happy joy joy!

Yay for all the upcoming October babies! : : :

And welcome, Blissful Mama! I started a thread on mamas pregnant with their second/third/fourth, and you have plenty of company in terms of being an emotional roller coaster.

cautiously optimistic

I am going to go ahead and join in as well. I found out a few days ago that we are expecting our 4th baby in October (the 15th so likely an early Oct. baby). We are cautious to get excited after back-to-back miscarriages last year, but are hoping for the best. I am trying to not get caught up in all of the what if's and just enjoy this pregnancy as it is likely to be our last baby.

All of my children are young and fairly close together and by the time this one joins us, we will have had 4 in 4.5 years...no multiples either! I am still nursing my son who just turned 1 about 5 days ago and intend to continue to nurse as long as he is willing. I am excited to share the upcoming months with all of you!

Congratulations to everyone! We found out this morning that we are expecting our third child! I have actually suspected something was up since the day I ovulated (which was at least 3 days after the last time we made love) because my nipples have been very sore since then. Lily is nursing, and when she latches, it hurts. Also, last Friday, I felt this amazing, tingly, almost blowing-wind like feeling in my womb (and it was while I was driving around doing errands, very distracting!) followed that night by brown implantation spotting, and the following morning by a very vivid pregnancy dream.

I have been pretty sure for the better part of a week, but wanted to wait until I was sure I would se a positive before taking a test. Lily was born at home in the water, and we are planning for another home waterbirth with this little pumpkin seed I appear to be about 5 weeks along, and my EDD is October 10th.

So glad to join you!

I am so exciting to be posting here! I just tested on Saturday and am going between feeling like this : and being totally overwhelmed at the thought of beginning this incredible journey again. Dh and I already have an 18 mo ds who we love to pieces. We are looking at him just wondering how it will feel to love another one just as much. I wasn't charting but based on lmp am due around the 11th. I figure early or late, this is an October Baby! So far I don't have any symptoms... kind of nice but I would like to feel like something is going on! I know I shouldn't wish that as I am sure it will all start soon enough.

Congrats to the other Mamas!

Hi Mamas,
I hope I am posting to the right thread this time. .
I just found out yesterday I am pregnant! My partner is the only one i have told. It is so surprising even though this was planned. This will be my first.... so talking with you folks will be a blessing as it sounds like so many of you already have families. Being a Doula, I have learned some about the sacred path of pregnancy and birth through other women, but feeling it for myself feels so big and amazing ...........best wishes to all you new Mamas.

Hi everyone & congratulations! My due date is Oct. 5th. My husband and I have 1 son born 3-3-02. I am currently trying to find a midwife, as we are planning a homebirth with this one. Happy pregnancy vibes to everyone!
